The sixth annual Fillmore Flower Show, will be held April 12-13, 2014, at the Fillmore Senior Center, 533 Santa Clara Street, Fillmore, California, 93015. In conjunction with Fillmore’s celebration of its centennial year, the theme will be, “100 Years of Flowers”. The Vision 2020, Civic Pride Committee, is proud to have been able to revive this well respected show that began so long ago, before WWI, continuing through the years until the early 1990’s.

This years’ flower show will be held in memory of Conway Spitler, who passed away in July, 2013. Conway had been a chairman of the flower show over many of the years, along with his wife, Tillie, and maintained a meticulous scrapbook which he allowed us to use for reference in that first year, 2009. He also met with us and offered his wisdom on planning and helped with the flower entries on the first day of the shows.

Another flower show scrapbook was located at the Fillmore Historical Museum and this book is brought to each show for people to look back at the history. Some people have found pictures of themselves as children in newspaper articles showing them as winners. Civic Pride will be offering a free class on grooming plants and flowers for entry, information on divisions and classes with classic styles, along with tips from judges’ comments during judging. Joanne King will lead the class. Location of this class, and date will be announced in a future newspaper

The show is free and open to the public from 1-4 pm each day. A Garden Boutique with plants and items attainable for a donation, along with door prizes, will be available.

Musicians will add the pleasure of live music on piano (Saturday) and guitar (Sunday).
